The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

  • An in Vitro Ovarian Explant Culture System to Examine Sex Change in a Hermaphroditic Fish
    An in vitro ovarian explant culture system to examine sex change in a hermaphroditic fish Alexander Goikoetxea1, Erin L. Damsteegt2, Erica V. Todd3, Andrew McNaughton1, Neil J. Gemmell1 and P. Mark Lokman2 1 Department of Anatomy, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand 2 Department of Zoology, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand 3 School of Life and Environmental Science, Deakin University, Geelong, Australia ABSTRACT Many teleost fishes undergo natural sex change, and elucidating the physiological and molecular controls of this process offers unique opportunities not only to develop methods of controlling sex in aquaculture settings, but to better understand vertebrate sexual development more broadly. Induction of sex change in some sequentially hermaphroditic or gonochoristic fish can be achieved in vivo through social manip- ulation, inhibition of aromatase activity, or steroid treatment. However, the induction of sex change in vitro has been largely unexplored. In this study, we established an in vitro culture system for ovarian explants in serum-free medium for a model sequential hermaphrodite, the New Zealand spotty wrasse (Notolabrus celidotus). This culture technique enabled evaluating the effect of various treatments with 17β-estradiol (E2), 11-ketotestosterone (11KT) or cortisol (CORT) on spotty wrasse ovarian architecture for 21 days. A quantitative approach to measuring the degree of ovarian atresia within histological images was also developed, using pixel-based machine learning software. Ovarian atresia likely due to culture was observed across all treatments including no- hormone controls, but was minimised with treatment of at least 10 ng/mL E2. Neither 11KT nor CORT administration induced proliferation of spermatogonia (i.e., sex change) in the cultured ovaries indicating culture beyond 21 days may be needed to Submitted 20 May 2020 induce sex change in vitro.

  • Giant Boarfish
    148 analis (Waite) and P.compressa (White). Family Kyphosidae - sea chubs and rudderfishes This family contains about a dozen widespread species. They are thickly built, oval shaped fish which frequent coral reefs and rocky shores in most tropical and subtropical seas. In general, kyphosids are herbivorous, feeding on algae and other marine growth, although some species are planktivorous. The jaws possess incisor-like teeth at the front. These may be serrated, loosely attached and movable, or may be fixed. There are no molars. Other characteristics of this family are the complete, slightly arched lateral line and the single dorsal fin. Many of these fish will often follow ships, hence the common name !rudderfish1. Six species occur in New Zealand. Those found in the Reserve, parore, Girella tricuspidata, silver drummer, typhosus Sydney onus, sweep, Scorpis aequipinnis and blue maomao, S.violaceus, are common northern New Zealand species. The other two, the mado, Atypichthys striagatus, and the bluefish, Girella oyanea, are commonly found around the north-east offshore islands, but are rare on the coast. There is some argument surrounding the classification of the sweep, S.aequipinnis, and blue maomao, 5.violaceus. Many consider them to be different morphs of the same species. Others distinguish them as two different species. The two are similar in appearance and in meristic characteristics such as the numbers of fin rays and lateral line scales. Recently, Smith et al (1979) suggested that they should be treated as two separate species on the basis of electrophoretio analysis, body colour, head shape and the characteristic number of gill rakers.

  • Do Partial Marine Reserves Protect Reef Fish Assemblages?
    Biological Conservation 116 (2004) 119–129 www.elsevier.com/locate/biocon Do partial marine reserves protect reef fish assemblages? C.M. Denny*, R.C. Babcock Leigh Marine Laboratory, PO Box 349, Warkworth, New Zealand Received 23October 2002; received in revised form 16 April 2003;accepted 18 April 2003 Abstract Fish assemblages in the Mimiwhangata Marine Park, an area closed to commercial fishing but open to most forms of recreational fishing, were compared with adjacent fished areas. Two survey methodologies were used; baited underwater video and underwater visual census. Snapper (Pagrus auratus), the most heavily targeted fish species in the region, showed no difference in abundance or size between the Marine Park and adjacent control areas. When compared to the fully no-take Poor Knights Island Marine Reserve and two other reference areas open to all kinds of fishing (Cape Brett and the Mokohinau Islands), the abundance and size of snapper at the Marine Park were most similar to fished reference areas. In fact, the Marine Park had the lowest mean numbers and sizes of snapper of all areas, no-take or open to fishing. Baited underwater video found that pigfish (Bodianus unimaculatus), lea- therjackets (Parika scaber) and trevally (Pseudocaranx dentex) were significantly more common in the Marine Park, than in the adjacent control areas. However, none of these species are heavily targeted by fishers. Underwater visual census found similar results with five species significantly more abundant in the Marine Park and five species more abundant outside the Marine Park. The lack of any recovery by snapper within the Marine Park, despite the exclusion of commercial fishers and restrictions on recreational fishing, indicates that partial closures are ineffective as conservation tools.
